Snow is on the ground at the Colorado Coal and Iron Company's Jokerville coal mine in Crested Butte (Gunnison County), Colorado. Shows log and frame mine buildings, a covered snow shed and a headframe. Women in mourning with blankets around their heads and shoulders, stand in a makeshift morgue after the mine disaster. Dead men, partly covered with sheets, lie on tables. Men carry a body on a stretcher from the mine shaft. Lumber debris from the explosion is on a hillside.
